~ have the Presidency and the prestige OF
success, the signs are auspicious for the cleo
ton of Republican President in lsss. The
momentum acquired by . years of the prev
alence of Republican principles has not yet
lost its force. and the material interests OF
the country are still prospering as the result
of Republican industrial legislagation. Re
cent utterances, however. indicate deter
mination TO end this prosperity by adverse
legislation forced upon the country by an
administration hostile TO American indus
trv and also indicate the necessity of the
return to power Of the Republican party in
the National Government so that American
industry wool growing and sugar raising,
equally with iron making and textile pro-
duction. may have continued prosperity,
and the employees constant employment and
continued good wages, such as American
workmen should receive
